It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1925 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

| Misc. Notes
|
Date 1927 from HMB: "8. Sinfonie für Gross. Orch. ... Part. (1927)..." According to a copy of the first(?) edition at Northwestern University Library, plate should be 8907 (additionally: "W.Ph.V.168 "Philharmonia" Partiturensammlung", 268 pp. in full, on their copy. See NUCat Record for Myaskovsky Symphony 8 Full Score. May apply to a slightly different (marginally earlier, given the 8907 plate?) but approximately contemporary edition (hence "Philharmonia Partiturensammlung") of course...)

However, going with 1928 date in P template per attempt to standardize. Interestingly, Tassie ("Nikolay Myaskovsky: The Conscience of Russian Music", p.364) gives 1929 for publication date- either HMB is wrong (this happens) or Tassie is; happens...
Universal Edition instrumentation claims 2 harps.
